Cost: Because we've been in business for more than 20 years, we've already absorbed the cost associated with forming a new school. And now that we are also offering the Online version, we have no printing or mailing costs anymore. Furthermore, we don't have to build classrooms or residential units for our students to live in.

• • • We want to pass these savings along to our students.

To be quite honest - we totally believe that most of those high-profile recording schools are just ripping you off BIG TIME! They have dozens of employees whose only job is to manipulate "the system" and get you a huge student loan with which you will be burdened for the rest of your life.

• • • Don't build up a mountain of debt.

We implore you - just ask some of their graduates. And find out the real truth - how many of them actually get a solid job worthy of all that tuition money they've borrowed?

• • • Investigate before you invest.
